What is the difference between building with perishable materials like wood, hay and stubble and building with God-tested materials like gold, silver and precious stones? ( 1 Cor. 3, 2 Tim. 2)) It is assumed that the modern bible reader will ignore all warnings and bet on a best-case scenario...

He crucifies it. I didn't say that Christ in us is the ego...I said you are confusing your ego with Christ. That's backward thinking. First comes the living THEN the walking it out. Tell that to the man who buried his talent in the ground. Did it rise up of itself to produce more talents?

Gobbledigook that is only alive in imaginations. Paul was running the race of faith to win Christ. Not all who run are pleasing to God. Paul was after the higher walk in the Spirit. This is basically unknown in our time therefore his words have no real meaning to people who are smug and refuse...

1 Cor. 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as...

I knew you were going to go there. This is a confusion of the text. Your ego is not Christ. You would have your ego to be the paradox...not Christ. But since it's possible to believe anything about oneself, have at it. The truth is that the part of you that you think Christ is in, needs to go to...

You are trying to bring things together in yourself, that can only be brought together in Christ. You are confusing the ego with Christ. GO to Christ. Seek FIRST the kingdom. Don't try imagining things in advance...in a superficial imagination. Eternal reality is NOT found in the human mind. Let...

Paul didn't run because he had already attained....he ran so that he would not be disqualified from the race. God calls many...but few are chosen. Why are so few chosen? Well, some of these probably think they already have everything and have need of nothing...like say, the Laodiceans. You are...

Here is a shocker. Here is a simple truth that escapes the indoctrinated ones. If you already have something you no longer need to seek for it. If you lack something you do need to seek for it. Anyone who tries to twist the meaning out of this needs professional...

That is your mind indoctrination fooling you. You don't know when to understand things spiritually and when to spiritualize the truth out of things. No one is made righteous and holy through the cross. You have yet to experience what truly justifies a person...resurrection life! If Jesus be not...

I have no assumptions or presumptions. You are trying to figure me out with a limited carnal mind. It is in trying to avoid the truth that you turn to your mind for answers...trying to find bible verses to fit your objection to the truth. You will NEVER admit to anything that takes down your...

Part of the mystery that is in Christ is that seemingly contrary things are held together IN Him. Most cannot fathom it. Things like eternal life and temporal life...brought into oneness in Christ. So we walk in BOTH kinds of life at the same time IN Christ. Jesus brings both realms, spiritual...

The real ever present danger is reading the bible and thinking a person has the power to understand it theologically. What is meant to be spiritually understood is then hijacked by carnal people who change the meaning of the text and use it to both justify themselves and bash other people...

There is the ever present danger that people will hear by faith and understand spiritual things in a spiritual way. I know of this fear from the principalities that you have articulated. The horror! o_O :eek:

The light is not a physical light but an eternal spiritual one. In His light we see light. Eternal life is based on an anointing from heaven...walking in the resurrection life of Christ IN the light. A light we see...but is not visible to others unless they are also walking in the light. The...

What you are saying is that you are not trying to process God's word through that piece of meat we all carry around (some more than others) in our heads? What a novel idea. I'm sure you will get some surprised looks here. :csm :Thumbsup: :coff

You can call me a spiritually superior mature man of God all you want. I don't think you could discern such even if such a man fell on you from whatever kind of tree he was climbing. Watch out for falling spiritual men. :rain?:

OK. This is obviously unintentional as it actually conforms to the subject of this thread. Go figure. The entrance (opening) of Your words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple (foolish). Ps. 119:130 When God said ...let there be light, the words become something other than...

Follow your own advice....stop picking on the sisters...be a mensch. Be a man, if you can.

Choosing a spiritual path is far superior to choosing a Pharisaical judgmental spirit to attack others with. I don't think you would agree, of course. Keep slinging the mud....but the more you do so, the more it sticks to you.

Keep fishing for favouritism and human acceptance. Rather if you had any sense at all, you would be looking for acceptance with God and approval of the Lord. But seeing that takes faith...,much easier to jump on the carnally religious bandwagon and hope for some temporal support. And the...
